Shocking Update: Edwards Admits to His Affair

During John Edwards's presidential campaign, Americans everywhere (myself included!) were always talking about how sweet he was to his family and especially his wife Elizabeth, famously suffering from cancer. He was almost a national hero for, well, being a good guy.

Well, not so fast.

Today Edwards admitted that recent rumors of his extra-marital affair with filmmaker Rielle Hunter were actually true. He admitted to lying to his wife (now everyone's really going to love her!) and to the public during his presidential campaign.

At this point in the conversation, people always say, "Well, JFK had affairs and everyone still loved him." But can't we have one president who doesn't cheat on his wife and lie to the country? Is that really too much to ask?
